Concomitant infections with malaria and intestinal parasitic infections may be associated with anemia in children (0–10 yr). This study determined the prevalence of co-infection with malaria and intestinal parasitic infections and determined its association with anemia in children (0–10 yr) in Tiko, Cameroon. A hospital-based cross-sectional study was carried out whereby venous blood and stool samples were collected from 377 febrile children. Blood was used to perform a full blood count. Thick and thin blood films were prepared and stained with Giemsa for malaria parasite diagnosis. The formol ether concentration technique was used to analyze the stools. Pearson’s chi-square test, Student’s t-test, and other statistical analyses were performed. Of the 377 participants, 139 (36.9%) were positive for malaria, 21 (5.6%) had intestinal helminths, 8 (2%) had co-infection, and 79 (21.0%) were anemic. Malaria and anemia were prevalent among the children and were significantly associated (P = 0.025). There was no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05) among age groups. Girls were more often infected with malaria (69, 37.3%), and boys were more often infected with intestinal parasites (13, 7.0%), but there was no statistical association for both malaria and intestinal parasitic infections (IPIs) for both sexes (P > 0.05). Hookworms, Ascaris lumbricoides, and Trichuris trichiura were the intestinal parasites found in this study. There was a significant association between anemia and parasitic co-infection in children (P = 0.003). Malaria and IPIs are prevalent in the Tiko municipality. They play a great role in anemia especially when there is a co-infection. Public education and awareness campaigns are necessary in this municipality.

喀麦隆蒂科分区儿童(0 至 10 岁)疟疾和肠道寄生虫的混合感染及其与贫血的关系

疟疾和肠道寄生虫感染的并发感染可能与儿童(0-10 岁)贫血有关。本研究确定了喀麦隆蒂科儿童(0-10 岁)疟疾和肠道寄生虫感染合并感染的患病率,并确定了其与贫血的关系。进行了一项以医院为基础的横断面研究,从 377 名发热儿童身上采集了静脉血和粪便样本。使用血液进行全血细胞计数。制备厚血膜和薄血膜并用吉姆萨染色用于疟原虫诊断。使用甲醛醚浓缩技术来分析粪便。进行了Pearson 卡方检验、Student t检验和其他统计分析。在 377 名参与者中,139 名(36.9%)疟疾呈阳性,21 名(5.6%)患有肠道蠕虫,8 名(2%)患有合并感染,79 名(21.0%)患有贫血。疟疾和贫血在儿童中普遍存在,并且显着相关(P = 0.025)。各年龄组间差异无统计学意义(P >0.05)。女孩更常感染疟疾(69 例,37.3%),男孩更常感染肠道寄生虫(13 例,7.0%),但男女疟疾和肠道寄生虫感染(IPIs)均无统计学关联(P > 0.05)。钩虫、蛔虫鞭虫是本研究中发现的肠道寄生虫。儿童贫血与寄生虫合并感染之间存在显着相关性(P = 0.003)。蒂科市疟疾和IPI 十分流行。它们在贫血中发挥着重要作用,尤其是在合并感染时。该市有必要开展公众教育和宣传活动。
